Is there a tape handler anywhere? Any handler that presents a block oriented
device as file should do it. I want to be able to tar things on a tape using
a Sun tape here and then read it at home with one of the amiga tars.

Some month ago i heard someone was writing a driver for direct SCSI access
(for the A2090) is this software available? For the A3000?

Before I order a tape drive: Which tape drives will Commodore's UNIX support?
